Description
Summons enormous shards of ice to destroy your enemies.
Key details
- Casting Delay: 1.8 seconds
- Blizzard causes falling ice shards to strike random size 2 areas within a 4.6 yard radius for the listed cold damage.
- One shard is generated every 4 frames for a total duration of 4 seconds.
- 25 shards are generated in total.
- Each shard persists for a short duration (the duration of the "falling" animation) and is subject to the Last Collide mechanic.
- Blizzard calls for a certain playstyle since its damage is dealt over several seconds to an area, instead of in a more targeted shot like most Sorceress spells.
- Monsters will need to be herded together, or a tank used to get them to hold still while Blizzard rains down its damage.
D2Emu Tips
- To avoid frequent skill switching, set Ice Blast under LMB and Blizzard under RMB.
- Patch 2.4: Blizzard Casting Delay will no longer share its cooldown with other skills that have Casting Delays Tooltip updated to now display Casting Delay.
- If you are playing in Resurrected mode, this ability's projectiles provide a decent radius of light, illuminating the dark slightly.
- Evolution of Blizzard animation.
